Answer
|
| Tania Elosegui |
Spain
|
Lorena and Annika. Annika because I think she has been one of the best players of all time and Lorena because she is the current number one player. |
| Janell Howland (not a rookie but participated in rookie orientation) |
United States
|
Freddy because he has always been my favorite. Jack because of his amazing personality and history of the game. Tiger because he is so good. |
| M.J. Hur |
South Korea
|
Lorena Ochoa and Paula Creamer. Those players are the most famous on the LPGA Tour. They will have many spectators who can watch my game. |
| Mindy Kim |
United States
|
Of course Tiger Woods, my dad, and I because I would love to talk to Tiger and ask him how his life is and how it got him there, and I want my dad to be there to cherish the moment. |
| Jeehae Lee |
South Korea
|
Tiger, Justin Timberlake, Woody Austin: I want to witness Tiger pulling off miraculous shots and putts and doing as many of his different fist pumps; I want Justin to do a sexy birdie dance every time one of us makes a birdie; and I want Woody to highlight every missed putt with a crazy "I AM VERY ANGRY RIGHT NOW" reaction. That would be the most enjoyable round of golf I can think of having. |
| Stacy Lewis |
United States
|
My dream pairing would be just myself and my dad. That is just how I started playing golf. |
| Mika Miyazato |
Japan
|
Yani Tseng, because I have known her since she was an amateur. |
| Anna Nordqvist |
Sweden
|
I've always wanted to play with Annika, since she's been my role model since I was little. I always admired Tiger, too, so I would say Tiger, Annika, myself, and a friend of mine. |
| Angela Oh |
United States
|
Jim Carey would most definitely have to be in it. Jack Black and Mi Hyun Kim are my idols. |
| Sunny Oh |
United States
|
Lorena Ochoa and Se Ri Pak because Lorena Ochoa is the number one player and Se Ri Pak is a Korean Hall of Famer. Se Ri Pak was the person I looked up to when I was young. |
| Shiho Oyama |
Japan
|
Lorena Ochoa and Paula Creamer. I think they stand out on the LPGA Tour and I would like to lear from both of them. |
| Pornanong Phatlum |
Thailand
|
I will pick Lorena Ochoa because I like her very much and I want to learn the golf game from her. |
| Samantha Richdale |
Canada
|
My dream pairing would be with my dad and his father. I never met my grandpa because he passed away, but his love for the game passed down to my dad, which eventually passed down to me. |
| Jessica Shepley |
Canada
|
Justin Timberlake - so he can sing to me. Tiger - because it's Tiger. Tyson Beckford - for the visual. |
| Jiyai Shin |
South Korea
|
It would be Annika since she was one of the best players on the LPGA. To play with one of the best players is such a joy and fun to me. |
| Nontaya Srisawang |
Thailand
|
Anthony Kim, Annika, and Tiger. I like to see how they get around the golf course. |
| Kim Welch |
United States
|
My dad, Tiger, and Jack. Do you really need me to explain? |
